President Donald Trump caught heat Tuesday after his campaign allegedly sent out a mass fundraising email to supporters, an email that Democratic strategist Harry Sisson derided as “creepy” and “disgusting.”
Sisson shared an image on social media of the apparent email, sent on Monday, which bore the subject line: “I’m alone and in the dark.”
“I’m sitting here. Alone. In the war room. Fighting for you. The rest of the staff went home hours ago,” reads the apparent email. “It’s just me, one dying laptop, and the 72-hour countdown clock to my first mid-month deadline of the year just RANG.”
As most Trump campaign emails do, the message included a link to donate to Trump’s campaign committee through the Republican Party’s main online fundraising platform, WinRed. The message warned that without enough contributions, the “radical left” would go on to flip the House and Senate in the upcoming midterm elections.
Sisson, who’s amassed millions of followers across several social media platforms and has collaborated with the Democratic Party, publicly mocked the email as a “grift.”
“Trump sent this creepy email to his supporters last night saying he’s ‘alone and in the dark’ and he’s writing the message from a ‘dying laptop,’” Sisson wrote Tuesday in a social media post on X. “The only way to help him is to donate your money to him. Disgusting grift. Very weird!”Trump sent this creepy email to his supporters last night saying he’s “alone and in the dark” and he’s writing the message from a “dying laptop.” The only way to help him is to donate your money to him.
